I am proud to tell you all that The Bahamas Real Estate Association launched a Multiple Listing Service earlier this year. While the MLS has been around for a long time in the US and Canada this is our first national MLS. So far there have been quite a number of companies joining with more following. I have no doubt that this will prove to enhance our service to our sellers and buyers alike. Realtors who have joined thus far is quite excited about this new fantastic tool. This will also give us the opportunity to gather statistics and better enable us to provide comparables once we’ve built up a nice history in the database.
If you are considering selling your property here in the Bahamas I would strongly recommend that you list with an agent who is indeed a member of the Bahamas MLS. As of the October 08 update, there are 123 participating members and 39 participating offices. This is great exposure for your property. I am always looking for ways to improve service and exceed clients expectations, so joining the MLS was not an option but rather something that I just had to do.
Is your agent a member?
